Plastic pattresses intended for mains use are made from thermoset plastic. These are completely rigid & don't soften when hot, and act as a fire resistant container. The mounting frames are manufactured from Solid Oak sourced from managed forests in North American and Europe which ensures this range is of the highest quality and remains a natural looking product. To maximize its versatility this range is available in Light, Medium and Dark oak together with Antique Mahogany or if you require a natural look we can also supply an unfinished natural Oak - this mounting base can also be painted to adapt to your own personal design style and décor.

Bath Taps In the Bath Tap section, we offer a range of convincing Victorian style bath fittings, including Bath Shower Mixers and Bath Fillers, available for fitting to a bath.We also include a metal adaptor plate with every wooden frame which allows you to mount your frame and switch to a standard metal flush box for direct replacement of your existing flush mounted light switches. You may be replacing a light fitting that had a wide base than your new fitting or your ceiling has suffered some cosmetic damage whilst removing the old fitting, using a wooden ceiling pattress will, generally, cover a larger area than a ceiling rose meaning that you will not have to re-do your ceiling before installing your new light fitting giving a nice finish to your light fitting. We have some old brass light switches that fit onto round conduit boxes instead of being mounted on a wooden patress. I assume they were fitted when the house was first electrified and the conduit was mostly laid on the surface rather than chased into the walls. This is far less destructive of course, but not really in keeping with the modern fashion for concealing such things. Freestanding Baths Luxury freestanding baths have become the focal point of many a beautiful, traditional bathrooms. Wooden pattress' can enhance the wooden furniture in your room blending the design, previous customers have advised that they have used our wooden pattress to sit behind light switch/dimmer switch panels and to display vintage internal bell pulls.

Screws holding plastic pattresses in place should be done up until the screwhead touches the pattress surface, and no more. Further tightening can break the brittle plastic. In the 1930s electrical accessories were mounted on wooden plates, and these were mainly referred to as 'pateras.' The anglicised version 'pattress' gradually took over from pateras.

The plastic boxes are usually white in colour. Popular specifications are 2 gang with a depth of 35mm. However, you can find them in a wide array of dimensions. What is Surface Pattress? I've rewired a whole cottage with old fittings to make it look as if dating from about 1930. Modern cables of course (not rubber and lead-sheathed !) but secured with bendy metal strips as in a shed. Then all painted brown. You sometimes see bits of left-behind wiring like this in old pubs.
